On Sunday I went to the Whitney Museum of American Art to see the current exhibitions. One of them was ‘Calder: Hypermobility’.
Calder invented an entirely new mode of art, the mobile—a kinetic form of sculpture in which carefully balanced components manifest their own unique systems of movement. So, it was full of those interesting and colorful mobiles.
The other part was ‘Hélio Oiticica: To Organize Delirium’ which is the first full-scale U.S. retrospective in two decades of the Brazilian artist’s work.
I could also see ‘Where We Are’, selections from the Whitney’s collection focusing on works made from 1900 to 1960. It included the works of artists such as Jasper Johns, Edward Hopper, Herman Trunk Jr.
